Final answer:

Salifu's share and the difference in the money received by Andzie are based on the distribution of remaining money among Andzie, Salifu, and Safiatu using the ratio 7:5:8. However, without details on the initial sharing, we cannot find exact money received by Salifu or the extra amount received by Andzie.

Step-by-step explanation:

The question asks how much money Salifu received and how much more Andzie received than Salifu when they shared GH¢2000.00 according to certain rules. The question requires problem-solving skills to distribute the money following the described conditions and ratios. Salifu's portion is determined in the second distribution where Andzie, Salifu, and Safiatu received the remaining amount in the ratio 7:5:8, and the extra Andzie received over Salifu is the difference between their shares.


  1. Firstly, we should divide the total amount by the sum of the ratio parts to find how much each ratio part is worth.

  2. Secondly, we multiply the value of each part by the number of parts assigned to Salifu to find out how much Salifu received.

  3. Lastly, we calculate the difference between the amounts received by Andzie and Salifu to find out how much more Andzie received.

Unfortunately, the first distribution among Andzie, Awuni, Salifu, and Safiatu is not given in terms of ratio or any other clear division, so we cannot determine Salifu's total amount or compare it to what Andzie received without additional information on the initial sharing.
